The New York court overturned the sentence with the American film producer Garvey Weinstein, who was accused of rape, reports The New York Times.
The judicial conclusion states that "the court of first instance made mistakes", recognizing testimony from people who were not plaintiffs for basic crimes. Therefore, the court decided to conduct a new consideration.
We will remind, since 2017, more than 80 women have accused Weinstein of harassment, including actresses Ashley Judd, Gwyneth Paltrou, Salma Gayek, Angelina Jolie and Uma Turman.
They said that the producer clung to actresses in hotel rooms under the pretext of casting.
In 2020, Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison. Then the Los Angeles court gave him another 16 years in prison.
Through this second sentence Weinstein will continue to be in prison.
